The Herculoids (1967–1969): Season 1, Episode 16 - Ruler of the Reptons/The Antidote - full transcript
NARRATOR: Somewhere out in
space live the Herculoids.
With Zandor, their leader.
Igoo, the giant rock ape!
Zok, the laser-ray dragon!
Dorno.
Gloop and Gleep,
the formless, fearless wonders.
Tundro, the tremendous!
They team up
to protect their planet
from sinister invaders!
All-strong.
All-brave. All-heroes.
They're "The Herculoids."
We're almost home, Dorno.
Yes. Tara will be
glad to see us.
Tara, we're back.
- Zandor.
- It's the Reptons.
All Reptanks, attack!
Zandor, Reptanks all around us.
Herculoids, take cover!
Igoo, behind you.
Ready, fellows?
Alright, let's bring
that last Reptank our way.
It's working. Keep it up.
Bloop bloop
Now, let's find out
what they've done with Tara.
You can do nothing, Zandor.
Vipon has made
your Tara our queen.
Tara? Their queen?
Yes, Dorno,
the Reptons believe
that they can defeat
the Surface people
if they have
a queen to lead them.
But Tara would never
do a thing like that.
Not of her own free will.
They must have
some sort of control over her.
What are we to do, Zandor?
I have a plan, Dorno.
Someone approaches.
The Reptanks return,
open the surface entrance.
Vipon awaits word
on the defeat of the Herculoids.
Then Vipon will be disappointed.
What?
For the Herculoids are here.
Let's hope they're
too busy to notice us.
Alright,
everyone know what to do?
Then let's move!
Hi, fellows.
After him!
Igoo says, the coast is clear.
Alright. Come on!
Our forces are ready.
They only await
your commands, Queen Tara.
- Then I command them to--
ZANDOR: Wait!
Tara is not giving any orders.
It's Zandor! Sound the alarm.
Destroy Zandor! Destroy...
Zandor, what happened?
I'll explain later, Tara.
First, we've got
to get out of here.
You cannot escape, Zandor.
Tundro, Igoo.
Thanks for nailing 'em, Zok.
They must be
stopped at all costs.
Activate the Destructo Bats.
But, Vipon,
they could destroy us also.
You have your orders,
activate them at once.
Zandor, look!
Destructo Bats!
Thanks, Gloop.
We've been cut off.
Maybe not. If we can just
reach that other ledge.
Igoo's made a bridge. Let's go.
- Zandor, a cave in.
- Hurry!
Is that the end
of the Reptons, Zandor?
I doubt it, Tara.
But at least their plans
of conquest have been stopped
by the Herculoids.
Something's frightening
the Monkey people
at the canyon cliffs.
I better get over there.
A web.
A venom spider. No wonder the
Monkey people were frightened.
Look, Zok. There he is.
He's hurt badly. It must've
been a terrible battle.
Zandor has been stung.
No one's ever recovered from
the sting of a venom spider.
But there's a secret antidote.
And the Spider Men of
the Endless Caves have it.
If Spider people have it,
the Herculoids and I
will get it.
TARA: You must get it.
It's our only chance.
We will, mother.
There it is, the entrance
to the Endless Caves.
Okay, Gloop, let me down.
We've got to get that antidote.
The best chance of getting it,
is if I go alone.
Don't worry, I'll be careful.
But stay alert.
Look, Murac.
The son of Zandor approaches.
Zandor's son. Seize him.
Sure is weird.
I'm trapped.
Don't move, you are
Murac's prisoner.
You say, Zandor needs the
antidote for the venom spider?
- Yes, before it's too late.
- Look.
We have the antidote.
And we have Zandor's son.
Without the antidote
Zandor will soon be finished.
And with his son
as hostage, Murac,
you will control the Herculoids.
Look, Murac,
one of the Herculoids.
Guards, fire.
Look, Murac, the Herculoids.
Igoo, I'm down here.
The flame wall
will finish the Herculoids.
We've gotta get in there
and get that antidote.
Okay, let's go.
The antidote, quickly,
bring it to me.
Smack
Guards, guards.
Got it!
Now, let's get out of here.
Uh-oh.
Let's go, Herculoids!
After them!
Uh-oh!
Faster, Tundro! Faster!
Make sure they don't follow.
The Herculoids do it again!
Are you alright now, Zandor?
Yes, Tara, I'm alright now.
Thanks to Dorno
and the Herculoids.
And you say Murac was
glad to give you the antidote?
Not at first, but Igoo and Gloop
convinced him we needed it.
Right, Gloop? Igoo?
space live the Herculoids.
With Zandor, their leader.
Igoo, the giant rock ape!
Zok, the laser-ray dragon!
Dorno.
